My trading is governed by this cheat sheet which focuses on three things!
• The first is trading goals.
• The second, your trade reporting and how to spot a big trend.

First world countries are suddenly dealing with higher inflation than in third world countries!
In the US for instance inflation is currently at 8.5%.
It hasn't been above 4% since 2009. And in the past 25 years it's never been above 6%.
And now inflation is the highest it's been in 40 years!
But it's not just the US that's seeing inflation speed up. The UK, Australia, Canada and much ... ››› more
Last week, I flew to South Africa to catch up with friends and relatives.
I'm thrilled to have also have flown with my lovely girlfriend, so I can show her around this beautiful country.

Any way last week Friday, I decided to phon... ››› more
Q. “Timon, I am trying to figure out what will suit me best as a trader. Maybe you can help me with my trading profile. I'm a 56 year old single house father who has about 1 hour a day to trade with income from property rental. I don't like too much stress and I certainly don't like the idea of losing a lot of money in a day. Can you help me figure out who I am as a trader?” A. Hi Bryce, you... ››› more
On the 11th and 12th of April, parts of KwaZulu-Natal received between 200 and 400 mm of rainfall in a 24-hour period.
Scenes from the KZN floods were shocking. I'm sure you saw the scenes of container yards flooded, trucks upturned and infrastructure in the Durban area decimated.
The South African government declared a national state of disaster to respond to the flood hit areas.

Raise your hand if you lost money in the markets?
I know I did in 2004 up to 2008.
It was because I kept making the same old mistakes newbies make.
4 Years!
Funny thing. I already had a winning trading strategy that was working on a consistent basis on paper. And yet, I was failing as a trader.
That was until, I started talking to top traders.

There's no doubt about it…
“Map apps” have revolutionised the way people travel.
In less than a minute, you can open an app on your phone, type an address and voila…
You're ready to go.
It's no wonder why “map apps” like Google, Waze (owned by Google) and
Apple boast hundreds of millions of users - even BILLIONS!
But one day that could change.
You see, a new crypto s... ››› more
Zeder is a little investment holdings company on the JSE. For years it was a core shareholder in Pioneer Foods (acquired by PepsiCo). It also holds a number of other interesting agricultural businesses as well…
But the company's share price is down 62% in the past five years.

You'll often hear us say the same thing.
To trade successfully you'll need to know how to follow the rules, keep to discipline and repeat the process.
However, there is one crucial mistake that we see all the time from new traders.
And the reason for it involves fear.
You'd think that greed is what destroys traders. But I think the fear of losing is what prevents traders from being suc... ››› more
The hardest decision as a trader, can you guess what it is?
No, it's the learning of how a trading platform works - you can learn this in two days.
It's not the depositing of money - you can do this with a mere credit card.
And it's not opening an account with a broker - this can take up to 10 minutes nowadays.
One of the most difficult decisions you'll make with trading, is actually... ››› more

In 2020 the South African economy saw an unprecedented crash because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
In dollar terms our country's GDP dropped from $351.4 billion to $301.92 billion.
That's roughly R740 billion that disappeared from our GDP overnight.
Tourism came to a halt.
Restaurants, hotels, gyms and car dealerships hit a massive slump.
Property, specifically office space became a hot... ››› more

“I've recently signed up to Pickpocket Trader and wanted to ask a question.
In the Welcome Guide you suggest, you never risk more than 2% per trade.
However, when we are entering into a number of trades we are risking a larger amount with our portfolio. My question is, what is the maximum number of open trades I should have in my portfolio at any one time?”

You know, I went through my charts last week.
And I was curious to see how my portfolios would have done if I traded a number of other systems.
Now these systems are not thumb-sucked out of thin air.
They are ones I've optimised and back and forward tested since 2008 (When I had the programming skills to do so).
And I adapted them from multi-millionaire dollar traders like Peter L ... ››› more
Q. "I'm really stumped on this one. In February 2021, I made a promise to start real trading, after I saw Red Hot Storm Trader make positive returns year after year.
I decided to start out with a R1,000 portfolio, to test out a real account.
And last week, I took my first trade and bought 1 Aspen CFD, thanks to Timon's last RHT trade idea.
Now I'm old but I understand that the share... ››› more
